- Memsource: Following the technological turn of the 1990s which profoundly changed the profession of the translator, a further shift to the online world is now underway. Not only do translators increasingly turn to the internet to find terminology, translation memories and other CAT tools are increasingly cloud-based. That is why, starting this academic year, the translation technology course of the Department of Applied Linguistics/Translators and Interpreters will introduce a new module focusing on this new trend, more specifically on the cloud-based translation software suite Memsource Cloud. The suite was launched in 2010 and offers a fully cloud-based translation platform. Memsource supports various file types that are translated in a user-friendly interface. In addition, translators can download an offline editor that allows them to continue working when there is no internet connection available.

- CLIV: Centrum voor literatuur in vertaling (centre for literature and translation)
The Alliance Research Group Centre for Literature in Translation (CLIV) was created in 2014 by Ghent University and the VUB.

CLIV’s main line of research concerns the discursive presence or absence of the translation instance as it manifests itself on different levels (poetical, ideological, ethical,…) IN certain areas of literary texts (such as paratexts, retranslations or adaptations) and, at the macro level, AROUND the text (through translation sociological research or research into the relevance of translation for literary theory as well as for literary history).
